CLOTH AND CARRY BABY CARRIER HIRE SERVICE: How it works
Hire a high quality baby carrier for 2-4 weeks to find what works best for your body, baby and family.
Babywearing is personal, so the best way to know whether a carrier truly fits your body, your baby and your lifestyle is to live with it.
Our Preloved Hire Service gives you the freedom to try a gently used, fully safety checked carrier at home for 2–4 weeks, without the commitment of buying upfront.
It’s simple, supportive and stress-free.
How It Works
1. Browse & Choose Your Hire Carrier
Explore our Baby Carrier Hire Collection and select the carrier or wrap you’d like to hire.
Each item is gently used from our demo library and fully cleaned and safety checked.
2. Add to Cart + Bond
Add your chosen hire item to cart.
A popup will prompt you to add your refundable $50 security deposit and return postage if you'd lus to organise it for you.
Please ensure you add this - missing deposits delay your booking.
3. Choose Postage or Pickup
You can choose tracked postage or arrange collection from Mount Kuring-Gai, NSW.
Note: Postage paid at checkout covers the shipping to you.
If you decide to return the hire, you’ll need to pay for tracked return postage.
4. Pay for Your Hire
At checkout you’ll be charged:
-
Your hire fee (minimum 2 weeks)
-
Your $50 security deposit
-
Postage (and return postage if you choose for us to organise it)
Your hire period begins when you receive the carrier (not when we ship it).
5. Wear & Explore (2–4 Weeks)

-
around the home

on walks

daycare or school runs
